Upgrade Elasticsearch to a AGPLv3 licensed version 8.16.4 #8749
GH_TOKEN secret is deprecated and replaced with GITHUB_GHCR_PUBLISH_TOKEN and E2E_WORKFLOWS_TOKEN secrets. GH_TOKEN secret was widely used within workflows for manipulations with PRs and triggering e2e and deploy workflows in Country config template repositories. We segregated tokens with more restricted access. Please create following secrets in your repository:
- Secret GITHUB_GHCR_PUBLISH_TOKEN is classic token with permissions repo, write:packages. Required to build and push OpenCRVS Core images.
- Secret E2E_WORKFLOWS_TOKEN is fine-grained token scoped to your fork of country config template repository with permissions Contents: Read and Write.
